The title compound, C29H42N4O5·0.5H2O, comprises four structural units. A flexible prop-yloxy unit in a gauche conformation, with a -C(H2)-C(H2)-C(H2)-O- torsion angle of -64.32 (18)°, connects an isoxazole ring and an approximately planar phenyl-oxa-diazole ring system [with a maxixmum devation of 0.061 (2) Å], which are oriented almost parallel to one another with a dihedral angle of 10.75 (7...

C11-Vinyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silica surfaces are successfully modified in C-C bond forming reactions with dihalocarbenes to generate SAMs, terminated with dihalo- (fluoro, chloro, bromo) cyclopropane motifs with about 30% surface coverage.

The 12 half-cystines of NS1 proteins are absolutely conserved among flaviviruses, suggesting their importance to the structure and function of these proteins. In the present study, peptides from recombinant Dengue-2 virus NS1 were produced by tryptic digestion in 100% H2 O, peptic digestion in 50% H2 O, thermolytic digestion in 50% H2 O, or combinations of these digestion conditions. Peptides w...

In this retrospective study, we evaluated the benefit of repeated carbon 11 (C11)-acetate positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to assess response in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone acetate (AA).A total of 30 patients with mCRPC were monitored with C11-acetate PET/CT and PSA levels during their treatment with AA....

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a ubiquitous fungal metabolite with nephritogenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic action. Epidemiological studies indicate that OTA may be involved in the pathogenesis of different forms of human nephropathies. Previously we have shown that OTA activates extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2, members of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) family, in the C7...

While initiation of transcription by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) has been thoroughly investigated, molecular mechanisms driving transcription termination remain poorly understood. Here we describe how the characterization of the in vitro transcriptional properties of a Pol III variant (Pol IIIdelta), lacking the C11, C37, and C53 subunits, revealed crucial information about the mechanisms of P...

Clan CD cysteine peptidases, a structurally related group of peptidases that include mammalian caspases, exhibit a wide range of important functions, along with a variety of specificities and activation mechanisms. However, for the clostripain family (denoted C11), little is currently known. Here, we describe the first crystal structure of a C11 protein from the human gut bacterium, Parabactero...

[figure: see text] The use of several non-aldol aldol processes allows one to prepare a fully functionalized and completely protected C1-C11 fragment that should be useful for the total synthesis of the tedanolides.

Uncontrolled inflammation is one of the leading causes of kidney failure. Pro-inflammatory responses can occur in the absence of infection, a process called sterile inflammation. Here we show that the purinergic receptor P2Y14 (GPR105) is specifically and highly expressed in collecting duct intercalated cells (ICs) and mediates sterile inflammation in the kidney. P2Y14 is activated by UDP-gluco...

For providing a benchmark data for numerical codes of parametric rolling prediction, a model experiment of a post-Panamax C11 class containership whose hull form is slightly modified from its original but opened for public was conducted and significant parametric rolling in irregular head waves was recorded. The existing numerical model developed by the authors for parametric rolling in regular...
